This time it really is Bush’s fault (at least as far as the Muzzies and Dems are concerned).

Several U.S. military officials told The Times that the attack was carried out by Tomahawk cruise missiles, although most were unsure of whether the missile was fired from a submarine or a surface ship.

THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!

They can run and hide, but they will only be tired when we get ‘em.

Good riddance ! Just like the day when Saddam was hung ! I remember the time where I was at when it happened. I was driving from Christchurch to Dunedin NZ. I got to the Dunedin YHA, got online and the new mentioned that he was hung 2 hours earlier. Made for a happy day.
